Lightning lose in overtime, to Ottawa

OTTAWA (AP) -- Jason Spezza scored a power-play goal 4:17 into overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.

Spezza, sidelined the previous two games because of back pain, drove a slap shot past Antero Niittymaki after Tampa Bay's Mattias Ohlund was sent off for holding 3 minutes into overtime. Spezza also assisted on Daniel Alfredsson's first-period goal.

Mike Fisher also scored for Ottawa (7-4-2) and Pascal Leclaire made 18 saves in the third meeting between the two teams this season, the second in seven days.

Alex Tanguay and Steven Stamkos scored power-play goals for Tampa Bay (5-4-5). The Lightning are 1-1-1 on a four-game trip that included a 2-1 overtime win in Toronto on Tuesday night. Stamkos has 12 goals this season.
